An identity protection best practice to follow:

Don’t assume ads or emails are from reputable companies. Check out companies to find out if they are legitimate.

Type the company or product name into your favorite search engine with terms like “review,” “complaint” or “scam.” If you find bad reviews, you’ll have to decide if the offer is worth the risk. If you can’t find contact information for the company, take your business and your financial information elsewhere.
